FAQ
Most homeowners qualify for a homestead tax credit to lower the property taxes on their homes, regardless of age. To qualify, the homeowner must file a verified statement and designation of homestead with the county tax assessor by July 1 of the year in which the credit will first be claimed.
Each state — and even each county — can make its own rules about who qualifies for a homestead exemption and how much it is. In most cases, people with “permanent and total disability”, veterans, seniors (people 65 and older) and the surviving spouses of veterans can qualify if they have limited income.
Homeowners who are 65 or older AND a qualifying veteran are eligible for both the military exemption and the homestead tax exemption. If you have a spouse who is also over age 65, only one 65 and over homestead exemption is allowed per property. Applications are available on the Iowa Department of Revenue website.
The Homestead Credit is calculated by dividing the homestead credit value by 1,000 and multiplying by the Consolidated Tax Levy Rate. That amount may then be reduced by the county to the same amount at which the State of Iowa has approved funding. For more information, please call the Auditor's Office at 563-245-1106.
To Apply: Applications can be made in person or online by way of the tax credit links at the bottom of a property report. New applications for homestead tax credit are to be filed with the Assessor on or before July 1 of the year the credit is first claimed.
You must live in the home to qualify for the tax break. Some states exempt a certain percentage of a home's value from property taxes, while other states exempt a set dollar amount. If your state uses a percentage method, the exemption will be more valuable to homeowners with more valuable homes.
For the assessment year beginning on January 1, 2023, the exemption is for $3,250 of taxable value. For assessment years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, the exemption is for $6,500 of taxable value. Claimants are able to file a claim for this exemption on the same form as the claim for credit.
